I think it was stated in an old scrapped story concept that Nero doesnt have parents, hes an incomplete clone of Vergil. Like apparently vergil did visit the order at one point and they managed to get some of his DNA and thats how Nero was created, combining vergils damaged DNa with human DNA.

Thats how Nero is related to Sparda, despite not being directly related to Dante or Vergil in a familial sense.
